Some patients have a variety of symptoms that are hard to pin down as far as the cause. Many of the symptoms you have are seen in the general population as well and are not very specific regarding a cause. Your current meds generally don't cause or aggravate neuropathy buy can do it rarely (the FTC in Truvada for example). For persons that have no other cause for somewhat debilitating symptoms, empiric drug switches to try different combinations or to avoid certain classes of HIV meds can sometimes be helpful but that approach often does not resolve the symptoms despite a lot of effort.
